Absofuckinglutely.
I actually love the idea that people can realize that they are not their biological gender/sex. Because we have been indoctrinated in so many ways and biological gender is a way they thought we couldn't deny. Those who benefit from this indoctrination are furious that we see it and say fuck off. lol

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can. More: cyberpress.org/9-4gb-twitte...

#AmListening #NowPlaying Holly Johnson's Europa album from 2014. His voice is still a treasure. The title track was recorded for a Vangelis album some years before and shelved. It's quite tasty stuff. Phil Manzanera's guitar work is also spot on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nd0...

We have 6 SCOTUS judges who have explicitly embraced fascism replacing check and balance democracy. Yet the official Dem response is "this is bad and our solution is... hopefully maybe 2 of them die in the next decade?!?"

2/ When someone masquerades bullshit as a cogent argument, you are under no obligation to continue the farce. That's pretty much the worst thing you can do, because you are then collaborating with your opponent in perpetuating a lie.

The number of people who are slagging off Biden and Starmer as if the elections are foregone conclusions is terrifying. I've seen people saying "labour are going to win anyway, so don't vote for them to teach them a lesson". It's bizarre and terrifying.

Okay, idk which young women need to hear this, but for the people in the back. YOU GET ZERO POINTS FOR BEING A GOOD GIRL! Do NOT proactively try to save the company money at your own expense. Do NOT consider turning down honors because you think someone else might deserve it more.

Do you use technical documentation of any kind? Do you give feedback on that documentation? If so, kindly don't be a fucking dick. I really don't feel like addressing your comments if you're a snarky fuck. Just don't. Kthxbye.

I'm kinda hearing about Project 2025 without a solid Democrat plan to combat it. "Just vote" is a convenient smoke screen to do nothing. I want to see some solid, well laid out plans. Use the plans to push the vote. Using the fear and only the fear doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry but Eartha Kitt and kittens in 1952 is the best photo I've ever seen. Look at them. Look at how adorable all of them are.

Ah, something for @unwoman.bsky.social who probably already knows about this...
A milestone! My database of historical cello works by women has reached 250 composers. Note: some of the pieces are arrangements (not originally written for cello; this is delineated clearly, including if the arrangement is by the composer). The cutoff date for the list is 1951. www.wildcellist.ca

Alito wants ppl to think Dems want “complete power”. But Ds just want to maintain pluralism&ability for parties to compete fairly. Pretending Ds want total control is a way to convince people that the Republican power grab is in self-defense. From @jbouie.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2024/06/14/o...

Same-sex marriage is not gay privilege, it's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. -- Like churches don't.

I'm just really over this idea that "we'll all be dead anyway" - which is exactly the operating mentality of a lot of the far right. "We're all doomed anyway so let's get rich until the sun kills us." That nihilism has actively made the future (and present) far worse than it would have been.
